THANK YOU

We are grateful for your purchase of this KENWOOD product and welcome you to the Private Mobile Radio service (PMR 446). PMR is a mobile communication system for both business and personal use without the need for a license and with no call charges.

This KENWOOD transceiver is a precision device. Treat it with care, and you will enjoy years of reliable operation.

FEATURES

• 16 channels with 8 operating frequencies and 38 tone/ code settings for each channel allows you to ignore unwanted calls.

• Built in voice scrambler gives you complete privacy for your conversations.

• Hands free operation when using an optional headset.

•Voice announcement lets you know which channel you have selected and which settings you have made when reassigning key functions and channel settings.

Battery pack

(KNB-29N)

PREPARATION

INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use {pages 5 and 6}.

Average battery pack life (calculated using 5% transmit time, 5% receive time, and 90% standby time) is 16 hours.

◆ Do not short the battery terminals.

◆ Do not dispose of the battery by fire.

◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.

Align the battery pack with the back of the transceiver, then

press the battery pack and transceiver firmly together until the release latch on the base of the transceiver locks.

To remove the battery pack, lift the safety catch on the base of the transceiver, then press the release latch underneath the safety catch.

While pressing the release

latch, pull the battery pack away from the transceiver.

CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK

The initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After repeating the charge/ discharge cycle 2 or 3 times, the operating capacity will increase to normal.

◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.

◆ After charging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the battery pack life due to overcharging.

Note:

◆ The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C while charging is in progress. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.

◆ Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a Ni-MH battery pack before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.

◆ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.

Plug the AC adaptor cable into the

adaptor jack located at the rear of the charger.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Slide the Ni-MH battery pack or transceiver with a Ni-MH battery pack into the charger.

Make sure the battery pack terminals

are in contact with the charger terminals by aligning the grooves of the battery pack with the tabs of the charger. The charger LED lights red and charging begins.

When charging is completed, the indicator lights green. Remove the battery pack or the transceiver with a battery pack from the charger.

It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack. When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.
